An excess coating removal device, which may be used with or retrofit to a can coating machine. Excess coating is removed before it can contact undesirable locations on the machine or the can.

A lateral applicator kit for a pipe has a first and a second application unit that are configured to apply a primer material or other substance to the exterior and interior lateral walls of a pipe. The first unit receives primer through a first supply engagement feature, which is in fluid communication with a first material reservoir internal to the first application unit and further in fluid communication with an application receptacle configured to receive, and apply primer to, the exterior lateral surface of a pipe. The application receptacle has at least one first material applicator connected across at least one first application opening through which primer is absorbed and distributed to the pipe. The application receptacle has a tapered, flexible applicator wall for adaptably accommodating a range of pipe diameters. The second unit is similarly but inversely configured to adaptably apply primer to the interior surface of a fitting.

The principles and embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for applying a catalytic coating to the outwardly facing edges of the cell walls of a catalytic substrate to reduce the amount of soot that accumulates at the entrances of the substrate cells that can increase back pressure and reduce the flow of exhaust gases through the substrate.

A quick, practical and economical method, machine and system for re-basecoating cans which have necks, flanges but also have basecoat and or decoration defects. The cans may pass by a corona /plasma treatment which removes lubricant. A main starwheel will carry the cans to a can body coating application device (such as a high durometer resilient roller), then to a can neck coating application device (similar but shaped for the neck/flange of the can). The main starwheel will carry the cans through an induction tunnel in which cans have an electrical current induced, thereby curing the cans before the cans are removed by an outfeed device and placed onto an outfeed conveyor. Hold down chucks hold the cans from the top (in addition to vacuum chucks holding the cans from the bottom) and cover the top of the cans so that the new coating material does not enter.

A fluid applicator tool that includes an applicator portion including a pair of arcuate clamping members that each include an inner radial portion and an outer radial portion, an absorbent media extending along the inner radial portion of each arcuate clamping member, and a hinge coupled between the pair of arcuate clamping members. The hinge is operable for rotating the pair of arcuate clamping members relative to each other for positioning between an open position and a closed position. The pair of arcuate clamping members are oriented such that a through hole is defined therebetween when in the closed position.

The present invention is a system and method facilitating the application of PVC primer or PVC cement to the inner surfaces of PVC unions, PVC sleeves, and the outer surfaces of PVC pipes. The invention consists of a PVC primer or PVC cement reservoir, a method of filing the PVC reservoir, and forcing the PVC primer or PVC cement through a series of tubes and holes in the apparatus and into a foam applicator which transfers the PVC primer or PVC cement onto the inner surface or onto the outer surface of a PVC union, PVC sleeve, or PVC pipe to a predetermined depth thus reducing waste of the PVC primer or PVC cement. The foam applicator housing contains a foam applicator specifically for applying PVC primer or PVC cement to either the inner surface of a PCV union, PVC sleeve, or to the outer surface of a PVC pipe giving a uniform application of PVC primer or PVC cement.

A girth weld coating machine has an application head rotatable about a pipeline. A reservoir of coating material is carried on the application head and progressively dispenses coating material on to the girth weld. The coating material is applied to the pipe surface by a roller to spread and distribute the coating over the surface.

A printing system includes: a first printing device configured to perform printing on a can body, a second printing device provided in parallel with the first printing device and configured to perform the printing on the can body, an adjustment section configured to collect plural can bodies having undergone the printing by the first printing device and the second printing device and adjust intervals of conveyance of the plural can bodies, and a processing device configured to perform processing to form a protective layer protecting an outer surface of each of the plural can bodies obtained from the adjusting section.

A method for producing a honeycomb structure according to the present invention includes: a preparation step of preparing a honeycomb structure element 2 having plurality of slits 12; and a filling step of filling the plurality of slits 12 with a filling material 13 by a contacting member 3 by feeding the filling material 13 to an outer peripheral surface 20 of the honeycomb structure element 2, and rotating the honeycomb structure element 2 while pressing a tip portion 3a of the contacting member 3 inclined at an angle relative to a normal line 20a of the outer peripheral surface 20 of the honeycomb structure element 2 against the outer peripheral surface 20 with a force, to obtain the honeycomb structure having the plurality of slits 12 filled with the filling material 13.

An epoxy coating can be applied to a round surface by keeping the round surface in constant motion, thus defeating the tendency of the epoxy to run off the outer surface of the round object. The process is aided by mechanical equipment that rotates the cylindrical object about its center, while also permitting adjustment of rotational speed.
